The Second Chapter of the AOTM x Ninfa Collaboration
Step into the intricate, evolving worlds of Jake Fried in Mindscapes, the second chapter of the AOTM x Ninfa exhibition series. Known for his hypnotic, hand-drawn animations that push the boundaries of traditional art, Fried’s works offer an unparalleled journey through the depths of human consciousness. Using simple materials like ink, white-out, and gouache, he creates dense, layered narratives that build upon themselves in a continuous transformation process.
At the heart of Mindscapes is the idea of evolution—of thoughts, memories, and identities continuously layering over time. Each of the 10 animated works on display captures Fried’s surreal, fragmented vision of the mind, with themes of time, memory, and the shifting nature of consciousness woven into every frame. Works such as Raw Data, Brain Wave, and Mind Frame reveal a restless, ever-changing flow, where each line contributes to an ongoing narrative that mirrors the complexity of human thought.
Fried’s labor-intensive process is seen and felt in every stroke, as he builds and erases layer after layer, transforming his drawings into living, breathing animations. The exhibition offers insights into this meticulous method, revealing the immense patience and precision required to craft these visual landscapes. As visitors explore the works, they are invited to peel back the metaphorical layers of Fried’s visual language, diving deeper into the unfolding narratives behind each piece.
Mindscapes also takes a retrospective approach, reflecting on Fried’s artistic evolution. Through works like Night Vision and Brain Lapse, the exhibition presents his most powerful pieces and contextualizes his growth as an artist, offering viewers a journey through his shifting visual language and creative transformation.
In conjunction with the physical exhibition in Milan, Mindscapes will be mirrored digitally through an Oncyber virtual gallery. This digital twin allows audiences around the world to engage with Fried’s works at their own pace, exploring the continuous transformations in an immersive, accessible format.
Why It Matters
Jake Fried’s work stands at the crossroads of tradition and experimentation, defying the conventional limits of drawing, painting, and animation. Mindscapes offers a rare opportunity to witness the relentless, meditative process that turns simple materials into something profound and multifaceted. His ability to depict the inner workings of the mind—the chaos and clarity, the fluidity and friction—creates a visceral experience for the viewer.
This exhibition asks audiences to contemplate the unseen layers of thought and memory, to lose themselves in the endless transformations of each frame, and to reflect on the connection between the inner and outer worlds. With each work, Fried challenges us to embrace the impermanence of our own minds, finding beauty in the never-ending process of change.
